Cybersecurity Solutions for Municipalities

 

Local government agencies hold some of the most critical data in America—voter records, property information, financial systems, utilities management, citizen services. A ransomware attack doesn't just cost money; it disrupts services that communities depend on. Yet municipalities face immense pressure to do more with less, operating with IT budgets that haven't kept pace with rising cybersecurity threats.

 

Many local governments are trapped between two equally bad options: expensive enterprise solutions designed for large corporations, or unsupported DIY tools that create more risk than they prevent. At Ȥҹý, we've built comprehensive cybersecurity for local government. We provide enterprise-grade threat detection and response paired with dedicated human support, designed for government budgets and compliance requirements. You get the security your community needs without the vendor lock-in or hidden costs.

Why Local Governments Choose Ȥҹý

Cities and counties can't afford downtime. When systems go down, citizens can't pay utilities, permits get delayed, emergency services are impacted, and taxpayer trust erodes. Ȥҹý's Local Government Cybersecurity Package eliminates the common trap: you won't be managing security yourself through slow ticketing systems or low-priority support queues. Instead, you have dedicated experts monitoring your network 24/7, responding to threats in real time, and supporting your team with expertise.

We understand municipal compliance requirements—NIST 800-53, records retention, financial reporting standards. We know that your IT team is often small and pulled in dozens of directions. And we recognize that transparency and accountability matter in government. With Ȥҹý, you're not paying for bloated features you'll never use or getting locked into expensive long-term contracts with surprise costs. You're gaining a CJIS-certified security partner who speaks government language and prioritizes your community's protection.

What's Included in Our Local Government Cybersecurity Package

SCINARY CYBER ASSESSMENT

Before protection can begin, we need to understand your environment. Ȥҹý conducts a thorough security assessment of your current infrastructure—identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in your administrative systems, citizen-facing applications, utilities management, financial systems, and network architecture. We examine your servers, directory services, firewall policies, and third-party integrations, then deliver a clear remediation roadmap aligned with NIST 800-53 standards.

This assessment helps our team become deeply familiar with your unique environment, enabling more effective ongoing monitoring and faster incident response if threats emerge.

Assessment includes:
  • Complete vulnerability scan of servers and critical systems
  • Review of active directory and administrative access controls
  • Firewall logical access and segmentation review
  • Third-party risk evaluation (vendors, service providers, state systems)
  • Remote access and VPN configuration review
  • Assessment of compliance alignment with NIST 800-53 standards
SCINARY CENTURION MDR + SOC MONITORING

Centurion monitors all internal network traffic across your municipality 24/7, detecting malicious activity in real time. When threats are detected—whether ransomware reconnaissance, data exfiltration attempts, or unauthorized access—your IT team and Ȥҹý's Security Operations Center (SOC) are immediately alerted. This managed detection and response system catches threats before they can disrupt services or compromise citizen data.

EDR + SOC MONITORING

Endpoint Detection and Response provides visibility into every workstation, server, and critical system in your infrastructure. When threats are detected on endpoints, our SOC can isolate systems from the network and terminate malicious processes, stopping incidents before they spread. By combining EDR monitoring with Centurion data, we identify sophisticated attacks and lateral movement that single-layer solutions miss.

For municipalities with critical infrastructure or sensitive financial systems, EDR can be scaled to focus protection on the most mission-critical assets.

SCINARY MANAGED MFA

Multi-factor authentication is essential for protecting administrative accounts, citizen data systems, financial applications, and remote access. Ȥҹý deploys and manages centralized MFA across your environment—including legacy systems and applications that don't natively support MFA. Our team monitors MFA activity for suspicious patterns, alerting your team to potential unauthorized access attempts immediately.

VULNERABILITY SCANNING, ANALYSIS, AND REPORTING

Government networks constantly evolve—new applications, policy changes, emerging threats. Ȥҹý conducts monthly vulnerability scans across your infrastructure to identify weaknesses before attackers exploit them. We deliver detailed reports that explain findings in plain language, provide remediation steps, and help your team prioritize fixes based on actual risk and compliance impact.

INCIDENT RESPONSE

Despite strong prevention, incidents can still occur. Your package includes 40 hours of Ȥҹý's incident response services at reduced cost. When an incident happens, you have expert support immediately—forensic analysis, containment, evidence preservation, and guidance on recovery. You're working with experienced responders who understand municipal operations and regulatory requirements, not waiting in a support queue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you read/monitor firewall logs?

While Centurian and Ȥҹý can’t ingest the logs from your firewall at this time, we do review firewall rules annually to ensure the security of your network.

Do you manage firewalls?

Ȥҹý does not currently offer a managed firewall solution. However, we are always incorporating client feedback and expanding our services accordingly.

What’s the difference between Ȥҹý and other similar providers?

While what others provide can be better than nothing, Ȥҹý offers a greater level of visibility and capability than those others. Additionally, where Ȥҹý stands apart is in cost effectiveness and unmatched service to clients.

What’s your incident response policy?

Ȥҹý will respond to cybersecurity incidents 24/7/365. Initial response will be through a call or screen share, however, if that is insufficient, we will deploy Ȥҹý team members to work on-site within 72 hours of contact.
